The Fab Four

[MikeH72]

LOL at that entire 2018 collection of players.

Trading Standards would have a good case against anyone calling any selection of that rabble a ‘Fab Four’.

 

[Yarrgh]

Not as bizarre as the voodoo comment

My all time favourite Magical Moshiri Moment. That AGM was like a real life Alan Partridge episode. Absolutely gobsmacked when that came out.

With all the 'doom and gloom' this week, here's a bit of a giggle for everyone:


“Now we are comfortable with Cenk Tosun as a focal point, we have Bolasie back, Sigurdsson, Rooney - we have our own Fab Four!”

Farhad Moshiri 10th January 2018.


Moshiri joining in 2016:
CF: Lukaku, Niasse, Kone, Naismith
RW: Mirallas, Lennon
LW: Pienaar, McGeady, Deulofeu
AM: Barkley, Osman

Moshiri's "Fab Four" comments in 2018:
CF: Tosun, Niasse, DCL, Sandro
RW: Walcott, Lennon, Mirallas
LW: Bolasie, Lookman,
AM: Rooney, Sigurdsson

Current front four:
CF: DCL, Tosun, Rondon
RW: Townsend, Iwobi
LW: Gray, Gordon
AM: Richarlison


Personally, I think we just lack a top right winger and cover/competition for DCL and Richarlison...not far off a top 6 level front four.


Have we improved the front four from 2016 and 2018 until now?

When you see the list I'd only dump 2 from 2021
I'd only keep 2 from 2018
And only keep 3 or 4 from 2016

Next we need to look at who was behind them.

None, they are all littered with utter disappointment

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Very bad.

 

[LEONARD]

George was my favourite.

 

[Crestfallen]

Thanks for reminding me of that truly baffling comment

Terrible cringe fest that interview. Like it was penned by kenwright himself.

Only 2 from 2021? Id go iwobi, Rondon, Tosun.

Who were the 3 or 4 from 2016? With ages at the time id only have kept Lukaku.

2018 beyond DCL only Lookman perhaps to keep but he wanted a move

 

[Tigger]

I thought Lukaku, Barkley and Del Boy were gonna light up Goodison for years. Sigh

Who knew hiring a manager with diametrically opposed ideas to the former manager in terms of personnel would be a bad idea there?

Oops missed Tosun

At their best 2016 is better but I can’t remember what level Pienaar and Kev were playing at back then.

Average to seriously gash
